In a day that could have been marred by intestinal protest and lack of public support, the self-enforced ‘bread ban day’ took place with only minor disruptions. Prompted by a stark excess of delicious wheat-based products in the preceding weeks, the day was inaugurated to allow alternative food groups equal intestinal rights.

The bread-ban, enacted in the early hours of Saturday morning, held strong throughout the day. Wheat remained off the menu, with the minor exception of one or two (pints) of wheat-laden beer in the evening.

When questioned over the consequence of the day’s protest, a bread spokesperson from Rewe, Mr Vollkorn, stated, “It was a shame to see this food group excluded from the primary (only – refer to earlier grumpy picture, below) grocery-shopping day of the weekend. However, we are of the belief that our selection of Vollkorn brot, Fünfkornbrot , Pumpernickel , Zwiebelbrot, Weizenmischbrot Roggenmischbrot, Weissbrot, Ulmer Zuckerbrot, Sonnenblumenbrot, Katenbrot, Hefekranz, Kürbiskernbrot, Käse brötchen, Mehrkorn brötchen, Mohnbrötchen, Doppelweck and the remaining ten thousand additional ‘lecker’ varieties, will continue to hold a special place in our stores.”​Bread is due to return to the allowable eating menu as early as tomorrow.
